A book on the life and times of one of Nigeria’s foremost oil engineers, Engr. Dan Madu Nzelu is to be presented to the public in Abuja as part of activities to commemorate his 10th anniversary.
Many prominent Nigerians are expected to grace the event scheduled to hold at Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre on November 3.
In a statement issued on behalf of the family by Engr. Emeka Dan Nzelu, the book presentation authored by, Mr. Jimmy Imo is one of the activities lined-up to mark the 10th anniversary of late Nzelu.
Other activities to commemorate the event include hosting of indigent widows by Engr. Nzelu’s foundation on November 5, at Aboji village in Oba, Idemilli South Local Government Area, (LGA) of Anambra State and thanksgiving service on November 6, at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, Oba, Idemilli South LGA.
The book is a biography of Nzelu who during his tenure as the Managing Director of Pipelines and Product Marketing Company (PPMC), once an arm of NNPC, managed to turn around the oil sector.
Engr. Nzelu is described as one of the most successful managers of NNPC’s big project in his time. He took over the project leadership of NNPC’s Escravos-Lagos pipeline (ELP) project, which feeds Egbin Power Station with Natural Gas and gave the project new impetus. The task was daunting as the route of the pipeline traversed difficult terrains such as swamps, big rivers and the ever busy Benin-Lagos expressway.
